Irakasgaiaren azalpena eta testuingurua

Gizarteak ingurumen-erronka globalei egin behar die aurre, hala nola hazkunde azkarrean dagoen giza populazioari, kutsadurari eta klima-aldaketei. Estresaren ekologian gaitasun aurreratua duten giza baliabideak behar dira, garapen sozialean eta lurreko bizitzaren iraunkortasunean laguntzen duten erronkei heltzeko eta horiek gainditzeko.



Helburuak

Estresaren ekologiari buruzko ezagutza eta gaikuntza praktikoa lortzea.



Helburuak

Unitatearen amaieran, hau egin behar duzu:

1. Estresaren ekologiaren arloan funtsezko kontzeptuak eta aplikatuak izatea, eta estresaren ekologian erabili ohi diren metodo eta teknikei eta ingurumen-arazo nagusiei aurre egiteko eta horiek gainditzeko beharrezkoak diren ikuspegi berriei buruzko gaikuntza izatea (adibidez, klima-aldaketak, bioinbasioa, kutsadura, biodibertsitatearen galera).

2. Ezagutzak eta trebakuntza etengabe eguneratzeko estimulua eta trebetasunak izatea, bai eta estresaren ekologiaren esparruko arazoak konpontzeko ere.

3. Estresaren ekologiaren esparruan taldean, modu integratuan eta diziplina anitzetan lan egiteko gaitasuna izatea.

4. Autonomia eta trebetasunak garatu izana, hauteskunde adostuak sustatzeko, emaitzak aztertu eta eztabaidatzeko, erabakiak hartzeko eta emaitzak, arriskuak eta erabakiak hainbat testuingurutan jakinarazteko.

Irakasgaia ikastean lortuko diren emaitzak

At the end of the Unit, you should:

1. Have fundamental and applied concepts in the scope of Stress Ecology, and training on methods and techniques commonly used in stress ecology and on new approaches necessary to address and overcome major environmental problems (e.g. climate changes, bioinvasions, pollution, biodiversity lost).

2. Have the stimulus and skills to get continuous upgrade of knowledge and training and to apply them in problem solving in the scope of Stress Ecology.

3. Have the capability of working in a team, in an integrated and multidisciplinary way in the scope of Stress Ecology.

4. Have developed autonomy and skills to promote consensual choices, to analyze and discuss results, make decisions and communicate results, risks and decisions to different types of audience in distinct contexts.

Irakasgai-zerrenda

Topics covered include:

Main ecological paradigms and challenges.

Development, biodiversity and conservation, sustainability.

Main regulation and conventions.

Environmental stressors. Global pollutants and environmental contaminants of special concern (e.g. microplastics, nanomaterials).

Methods and techniques commonly used in Ecology and ecotoxicology to assess the effects of stressors on populations, communities and ecosystems.

Effects of environmental stressors (physical, chemical, biological) on interspecific relationships; adaptations, resistance and differences among species.

Effects of individual environmental stressors on communities and ecosystems (terrestrial, freshwater, marine).

Combined effects of climate changes, pollution and bioinvasions in ecosystems of different regions (temperate, cold, tropical, extreme environments).

Implications to biodiversity conservation, environmental and human health, and ecosystem services.
